Im getting this linker error that won't let me compile. It only happens on the simulator.
KEY POINTS:
- Happens only in simulator
- Similar to THIS question, but found no FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS in my .pbxproj file
- Though my OS is 10.6.2, I had to build target 1.5 to avoid other linker errors
- libxml2.dylib IS required and is in my Frameworks group
- The other cited libraries I have never heard of.
- Tried bringing in those other Libs under frameworks, didn't solve.

CLUE:
Again, MY question is very similar to THIS SOLVED QUESTION except that in my case I did NOT find a FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS entry in the .pbxproj file in my project bundle and thus could not solve in the manner in which that question was solved.
The problem is this:
-L/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS3.0.sdk/usr/lib
That's telling your Simulator (i386) build to use files from the Device (arm) /usr/lib.
Find in your target where /usr/lib is (just use the Search bubble in the target's Get Info / Build Settings tab) and delete it. The compiler will use the correct platform's usr/lib if it's not told to use the wrong one first.
